>Povidi Releases “My Accessible Google”, Non-Visual Access to
>Google’s Calendar Application!

>For Immediate Release: Povidi Releases “My Accessible Google”,
>Non-Visual Access to Google’s Calendar application!! – Christchurch,
>New Zealand – Cleveland, OH USA – PR Web
>
>Today, Povidi LTD announced that for the first time users who are
>visually impaired will now be able to access Google’s Calendar
>Application. Up until now, this robust, online means of organizing
>one’s calendar has been virtually inaccessible to persons who are
>blind or visually impaired. But no longer thanks to the development
>efforts of Povidi, a New Zealand-based development firm committed to
>providing orientation and navigation solutions as well as intuitive
>access to otherwise relatively inaccessible web-based applications
>by persons who are blind or visually impaired.
>
>Povidi has created a user interface to Google’s Calendar Application
>that can be freely utilized by visiting http://www.povidi.com/mag/.
>Users must first have a Google account; once they sign in and grant
>this application access to their Google calendar, users may create,
>store, and review appointments in the same manner as their sighted
>peers. Povidi was able to accomplish this milestone in the wake of a
>tragic earthquake that has decimated Christchurch.
>
>”We’re delighted with this breakthrough,” stated Darryl Sherwood,
>founder of Povidi. “We’re seeing a trend whereby vision impaired
>computer users are expected to manage and access information in a
>similar fashion to their sighted peers, and we’re keen to explore
>ways to give them the tools they need to accomplish the tasks they
>are expected to independently complete.”
>
>Flying Blind, LLC is a strategic partner and minority shareholder in
>Povidi. “I’m ecstatic about the work that Darryl and his team have
>completed on the Google Calendar,” stated Larry Lewis, President of
>Flying Blind, LLC. “It’s a tremendous follow-up effort to Povidi’s
>access on the YouTube front, and I’m confident that we’ll find ways
>to bring Povidi’s problem solving skills to a number of other
>inaccessible applications on the web as well.”
>
>The staff at Povidi and Flying Blind, LLC are encouraging all of
>their customers to give “My Accessible Google” a try and to provide
>their feedback. For more information about “My Accessible Google”,
